Yukon College Act Second Reading 
(Blues, 30 March 2009) -- Hon. Mr. Rouble: Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table Bill No. 68, which amends and updates the Yukon College Act. The changes being proposed here today recognize the importance, role and responsibilities that Yukon College has throughout the territory, and they are consistent with the Yukon College 2008-13 strategic plan. This plan represents the significant amount of work that the college board of governors, administrators, and our partners in education have accomplished in crafting the strategic direction for Yukon’s college. The college conducted an extensive planning process, and the final product reflects what the college heard during its 2007 public consultations. Most importantly, this bill empowers Yukon College to grant degrees, and this is a natural evolution of the college function at this time. From its 1960s roots as a vocational and technical training institution, Yukon College has evolved into a maturing community college that offers a wide range of programs and services in a number of areas.
